This week I am making Christmas cards - yes you heard me right, Christmas cards! I am taking part in Creative Craft Worlds Beat the Christmas Rush and endeavouring to make 5 cards a month so that when December arrives, I will have a nice stack ready to write and post out.
I'm doing very simple cards - using a couple of dies to cut out the houses and snowflake border, a spray of Mr Huey's mist in white on to some purpley blue cardstock and then mounting it on to a square white card.
At the left of my pen is a "to do" list - I'm a list person and like to be able to tick off my jobs as I complete them. I feel as though I get more done that way LOL! On the right is some owl fabric which I bought the other day to make some buttons with. That's the next job after the cards.
Hope to see you next week:)

I take my hat off to you for making christmas cards. I can not do them at this time of year but what you are doing will mean you will be sorted come December and I will be struggling.
Wishing you a very Happy WOYWW

Good for you, getting on with your Christmas cards. I do one a month for a challenge but I need to up the output soon, or I'll be panicking. I like the blue and white. Christmas cards are best when they are not too complicated. Kate x #57

Brilliant! Unlike me who will wait until Nov. or Dec. to try and start making my cards, only to end up going to the store and buying them. LOL! Love the dies you are using. SO cool that you are using the houses that way. I used that die this past Halloween for a "trick or treat" neighborhood. LOL! Awesome desk and cards. Sue#126
So well organised Susi. I had intended to try to do this challenge but at the moment my stock of cards sits at a big fat zero!!!
Great looking cards. I wrote down the name of the challenge you do as I make a Christams card for Sarn's Rudolph Days on the 25 and she allows linking up to up to 5 other challenges.
your card is colour choices are very effective.
Christmas cards already? I say every year I'll start earlier but it's always a mad rush the first week in December!!
Happy (belated) WOYWW!
